gold credits and equiptment

[freak458]

Am i missing something or do you need to buy credits to get new and better equiptment ? i was getting gold coins until i hit lvl 20 and now i dont see them anymore..... so is buying new stuff just not going to happen or am i missing out on a way to make gold credits somehow.

because i cant compete with the pay to win guys just useing stock clubs and i have to say if i cant upgrade ....there is really no reason to play this game.

You can use the silver tokens/credits to rent equipment. Also, you can enter tournaments and if you place in whatever the stated top ranks are you win gold credits. There may be other ways to earn gold credits after lvl 20, but I'm fairly new myself so I don't know. But, no, you don't have to buy gold if you're willing to play lots of tournaments and patiently earn them.

This game is such a cash grab (always was), and they don't even hide it. It works, because some people will always be willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money for virtual stuff that takes 10 minutes to program.
The clubs one can get without paying are useless for competitions - no spin, no draw, not enough distance, you name it.
You want new balls? Sure, that'll be 10 credits (for the lamest of them all). Oh what's that, you want them not in white but some other color? It's gonna cost you 4 times the usual amount. Blatant cash grabbing.
And like OP pointed out, the credits stop coming in so one is stuck with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ equipment, which is, of course, intended.
If (HUGE if) the game was actually great and without so many issues (connection, lack of tutorials, no ambient sounds, etc.), one might think about buying stuff. But as it is, (non-paying-)players are given the least possible amount of value, while they are expected to throw their money at the developers.
So, just like real world golf, this game is meant for people willing and able to empty their pockets.

Tell you a little secret: You don't actually have to WATCH them! ;-)
They just need to display on one of your devices. Put your device beside you while working or watching television and click the ads.

The ads used to be unlimited, nows it's a maximum of 150 credits/day you can get that way.

I'm a lvl 107 Legend with top notch equipment and I have never spent any real money on this game.

Spend money on stuff or watch ads to progress. This game really is a capitalists wet dream.
Did EA call Topgolf yet for some intel on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with gamers?
It used to be you bought a game and got serious value for it, those were the days. Pirating FTW.
